Watch more Monty Don here:    • Monty Don's Vibrant Late-Summer Plants | S...   Creating a beautiful garden is all about finding the right plant for the right place, even when the conditions seem completely against you. In this episode, we take a look at the incredible transformation of a coastal backyard situated just 150 yards from the sea. We explore how to use optical illusions, winding paths, and structural planting to make a small outdoor space feel grand and inviting. Back at Longmeadow, the focus shifts to water features and seasonal planting. Learn the essential steps for establishing a self-regulating wildlife pond using native greenery like marsh marigolds and water forget-me-nots to attract insects and frogs almost instantly. We also travel to Devon to tour a stunning national collection featuring over a hundred unique water irises, offering a brilliant alternative to aggressive native species. Finally, we break down the secrets to a successful pea harvest, smart lawn repairs, and the precise planting depths required to ensure your peonies bloom beautifully for decades to come.
